[stylist] Writing process

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Judith,

This is true.  When I first learned Braille, I started visualizing the
Braille characters instead of the print.  It was a weird phenomonon for
me since I had read print for for about 16 years up to that point.  Even
when typing on a keyboard, my first visual was the Braille character.

Jim and all, I was thinking about this last night.  When reading hard
copy 
and you see "Boy" your eyes recognize it immediately and your brain
tells 
you "boy".  My assumption is that when reading braille and you feel the 
letters "Boy" your brain tells you the same thing.  A braille reader
once 
told me that when he thinks about the spelling of words he "visualizes"
the 
braille letters.  Just a thought, Judith
